If the fundamental theological conflicts between Jews, Christians and Muslims are *not* discussed at a conference such as this, where, *precisely*, are they to be discussed?
Precisely how much *time* do you think you have to discuss and resolve these theological conflicts *before* the eruption of a military confrontation between the United States/the Israel and Iran?
And what if the answers you have to *both* of these questions are WRONG?

- Posted by Michael CecilIs the fundamental goal of this “interfaith dialogue”—first, by the king of Saudi Arabia in Madrid several days ago; and, now, by a prince of Jordan—to provide a quasi-religious ‘justification’ for what is, for all practical purposes, the European Union’s declaration of war against Iran after the expiration of this Saturday’s deadline?

- Posted by Michael CecilHai, all of you out there, who are of course very intelligents. I just want to make an important issue here, how can we as a human (created by God ) will ever know His being? Don’t you guys ever think that it is like a single or a group of bacteria/s which live inside our blood, and it or they want to know who we are? (even they live inside our blood). How can a virus/bacteria, even it has a life of it’s own,will ever know who is the real person and what kinds of characters of a person has?
- Posted by handy iriantoIf you guys can describe your God’s characteristics, He might not be a real God. Like a bacteria, if it can describe a person it lives inside his/her blood, the description that it has, must not be a real person, it could be it’s friend, virus?
Any body can help?
